    OUCH...very poor media you got there...i would seriously take rotary's suggestion and get some media with decent dye~ :)

    i have this liteon burner too, it seems it DOES NOT LIKE this media, hence your writer going idle and stopping conversion :(

    def. recommend better media and then try again, hopefully, it WILL go through 2nd time around...

    docTY~

    What do you mean by this? "also are you booktyping a -R disc to dvdrom?" there are times when i am able to burn using the same media. but most of the time i get an empty dvd after burning successfully. and you might want to know i had a problem before with the end-of-disc thing. and what i did was to upgrade my firmware to ksob and it got fix. but then i had this problem.

    hi

    Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45, 4489MB)
    Last address to be written: 2286095 (508:01.20, 4465MB)

    i use 4300 no higher

    that is way to close for good media and like mentioned by yourself your burns are 50/50 if you get a good one on those discs, firmware just helped abit by the sound of things???

    not sure on the booktyping as i am not brill with nero logs - creaky is theguy to check this out, its i saw this line of text

    I was able to successfully burn to a different media. What baffles me is why does nero continue burning up to 100% when it's not burning anything. Shouldn't it give me an error. From what i know before it starts the whole burning process it burns a bit of sample to the disc and if the rom is unable to read it should give me like a power calibration error or something.

    LOL

    i think you hit it right on the dot rotary, those Nanya discs ARE POO~~ :) hehehe

    nero throwing a fit cuz the discs were so "poo-ish" LOL, there was no time for a CRC error cuz the discs made his dvd burner IDLE at the very beginning~

    docTY~

    edit:

    with your new disc,
    these INFOME are NOT much better, BUT, you will have to consider the fact these INFOME discs are DVD+R discs, NOT dvd-r like you were using before with the Nanyas... :)

    i think the fact that your nero "kicked in" and did in fact booktype these to dvd-rom, SOMEHOW that gave you the "successful" burn...

    honestly, i would suggest you get better quality discs, i can tell you from first-hand experience with that SAME drive, it CAN be picky about the media you feed it...you are probably saying to yourself, "i just burned this INFOME dvd+r disc successfully..why should i get diff. media?" ...well, i can pretty much assure you that in the "successful" burns you get now with either of those 2 manufacturers...they WILL start to experience problems in a few months time to a year or even sooner depending on how you store your backups...these 2 manufacturers are VERY POOR in terms of quality dye they use...dye rot is commonplace for their media...what you feel is a "successful" backup now, will NOT be later down the road...i can guarantee you that...

    docTY~

    Still burning a little too close to the edge...

    Can't say i know that brand, but i believe they are Phillips...
    You should burn @ 4x to stay in the safe area all the time.
    That's another Gb burn into your disk.
    [edit] Am i bit late... lol
